Ohhhh, I’m pretty excited! The last time White Reaper put out a new album it was pre-pandemic and I also missed seeing them open for The Killers at a free show for MLB’s All-Star Weekend. Beyond bummed. But, it’s a new year and the band have just released their fourth full-length album, Asking for a Ride. And, oh yeah, I get to see them twice this year!

Read moreSlipknot – The End, So Far Album Review
I was truly very surprised with how little time passed between Slipknot’s last album, We Are Not Your Kind and their new effort The End, So Far. Really though, the internet told me it has been almost four years, but boy has the pandemic made time speed past me, apparently.
Read moreBad Omens – The Death of Peace of Mind, Album Review
Since I was going to be seeing Bad Omens over this past weekend, I figured I should give their latest album, The Death of Peace of Mind a full run-through. I knew a couple of older singles thanks to my sister, but in looking at the set lists from other shows on the tour, this new album was going to be featured heavily.
Read moreInhaler – It Won’t Always Be Like This, Album Review
Well, nothing like listening to an album almost a year and a half after it was initially released. Time is a black hole and it definitely hasn’t felt like that much time has passed.

I don’t know that I’ve listened to a Nothing More album in full. I usually just rely on my sister to play me all the good ones, but this time around I decided to give their latest full-length release, Spirits, a try.
Read morePhoenix – Alpha Zulu, Album Review
I think this might be the longest stretch of time Phoenix has gone without releasing a new record. It’s been almost six years since there last full-length effort, but now, after all that time, we finally get Alpha Zulu!

It’s always quite a shock when a band announces they are going to drop two full-length album in the same year. I felt not less shocked when the Red Hot Chili Peppers announced Return of the Dream Canteen was going to drop just a couple of days before I was due to see them live at Austin City Limits.
Read moreThe 1975 – Being Funny in a Foreign Language, Album Review
I’m sure there were parts of The 1975’s latest album, Being Funny in a Foreign Language, that were in fact about being funny. I however, felt that it had more to do with love. And there’s certainly nothing wrong with that.
Read moreDjo – Decide, Album Review
I can’t help but think back to an interview I read a few months ago where Joe Keery scoffed at the thought of his debut full-length album, Twenty-Twenty. he evidently thought it was a bit juvenile both in sound and from a lyrical perspective.
